I have ran a backup for the microsoft exchange, now i am testing the restore. We have deleted an email from the inbox. Now I have selected restore application item, microsoft exchange mailbox, the veeam explorer for microsoft exchange opened, I went to the mailbox, selected the email and started the restore. Step by step i added the target mailbox that i want to restore to, selected the onprem microsoft exchange server, i specified the admin user that has access to the exchange server, it didnt automatically populate, so i added the mailbox server manually and selected restore to original folder, is that correct? It is stuck at validating for a whileI am following the guide step by step : https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/restore_to_onprem.html?ver=13

I installed the Veeam 12.3.2.3617 on a virtual Windows Server 2025 and this has been a very bad experience.  I started to migrate the repository data to the new server, but it has become very unusable.  Now when I look up the issues on the web with Veeam, other people seem to have similar issues when using server 2025 with the repository on a ReFS file system.  At this point, everything is in limbo, meaning that the server randomly hangs when Veeam runs.  30% of the repository has been moved, but I can’t seem to do anything with the server.  Every time we try to access Veeam repository it just hangs.Does anyone have any suggestions other than scrapping the Veeam backup installation completely?thanksMatt

I have been looking forward to testing Veeam Data Cloud for quite some time. I first discussed it during the Veeam Summit in Berlin (2024) and again in Prague (2025). Today, I finally have the opportunity to experience it firsthand. Thank you very much @Karinne B. Veeam Data Cloud is a comprehensive Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform that provides cloud-native data protection for modern workloads. Unlike the self-managed Veeam Data Platform, this SaaS offering includes the backup software, infrastructure, and storage in a single package. I have previously discussed Why you should back up Azure, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365, and s

If you want to take your Veeam career to the next level, you can rely on Veeam’s education platform, Veeam University Pro.I’ve just enrolled in the Veeam Recovery Orchestrator Essentials course, and here are my first impressions.  There are three tabs on the left side: the Path tab, where you can navigate through the lessons; the Learners tab, where you can see the members; and the Discuss tab, where you can post questions to be answered by the expert team. This means you’ll be assisted by a real person.The platform is easy to use. You simply click on the desired lesson and watch the video. The videos are high quality, and the trainer speaks very clearly.Sub

If we use forward forever incremental backup on the tape, can we disable the full backup schedule? 

 It's been a bit quiet around me the last few weeks. I am currently active in several projects, including two different customer infrastructures that start in the greenfield with V13 based on the Veeam Software Appliance and are in the fortunate starting position of having premium licenses in use. Thus, nothing stands in the way of the use of the High Availability / HA function.Important to know: Only the Linux Veeam Software Appliance can provide the HA feature and only in conjunction with the Veeam Data Platform Premium license!See Considerations and Limitations - Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide for general considerations and limitations when using HA. I strong

After my previous articles on backup security and object storage on-prem, today, we'll examine the best practices for using them with Veeam.Here Why go with on-premises object storage and here The choice of storage explained my ideas about a new generation storage as a backup repository.So we'll check out the best configuration for creating a backup job and explain why we chose it.Object Storage as the main repository in Veeam v12.3.As we all know, since version 12, it's been possible to use an object storage repository as a primary destination for backups. This makes the architecture simpler and offers greater flexibility.When you're gett

Is Surebackups Virtual Lab on the to do list to work with Proxmox?

We have to diable Backup Jobs for Updates and reboots. There is a risk of letting the jobs diabled after reboot! It would be great to disable the Jobs in the GUI for some time only! With API calls we have to diable MFA for this account what can bring a security risk!  

Let me explain the customer environment first.Customer has 3 Dell Poweredge servers (will name them pe1, pe2, pe3) and 1 Dell Powervault server. Customer uses pe1 and pe2 and has deployed 2 windows machines on them with hyperv on them respectively, pe1 has hyperv1 and pe2 has hyperv2. Customer has taken the storage of these hypervs from the Del Powervault server so that they have a large size. Customer has deployed a windows server on pe3 where veeam has been installed and the backup repository is on that pe3. Now, we added the 2 hyperv on veeam by adding them as standalone hyperv, hyperv 1 has 6 windows VMs under it and hyperv2 has 5 windows VMs under it.One of the windows VMs is showing a used capacity of 50 GB. Now this windows machine is a file server, has 2 partitions, the C partition where the 50 GB is used , and another Partition, the D partition that has almost 3 TB of files on them.On Veeam i only see the 50 GB used. If i run a backup schedule in or

We've been running the Framework in corporations throughout the year.In this post, I'll share with you the main results and how this initiative has encouraged teams to work together to achieve the highest possible compliance. In early January, we started using the Assessment provided by Veeam. In our client base and new logos. Today, at the end of October, we've already surpassed 50 clients, guided by scope of work, documentation, numerous meetings, and excellent commercial results. After the Framework round, we typically move on to a series of Scope of Work and Commercial MovementThis has been quickly moving customers, distributors, manufacturers, and partners, and it's being treated with priority, according to projects already underway within organizations. Yet another reminder that backup, often seen as a dull necessity, once again proves to be the unsung hero when it matters most. 

I am trying to deploy Veeam Data Platform v13 on my windows server however i am getting the error “License is not valid for this product” when attaching the license to it before the deployment. Deployment cant proceed like the previous versions with no license.The foundation license was purchased late September before V13 was released so I suspected that was the case, I went into the license portal and generated a new license for V13 however the same error occurred. I have the windows defender the Kaspersky antivirus disabled to avoid having any error in deploying the license however I am stuck here.

Dear,Have a good day!!I would like to report an issue with Veeam Backup & Replication version 12.2.0.I upgraded Veeam Backup & Replication from version 12.1.1 to 12.2.0. After the upgrade, I attempted to update the server components in Veeam, but the process failed, as shown in the attached picture.Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? Thank you! 

Many companies breathe a sigh of relief once they have implemented a professional backup solution like Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 for their Microsoft 365 environment. The assumption is: „Now our data is safe, and the backup topic is taken care of.“ However, it’s not that simple. Unlike traditional SaaS services, where the provider often bears full responsibility for the service, with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, a crucial part of the responsibility remains with the customer.’’ This means: Even though Veeam reliably handles the backup and recovery of your M365 data, you as the customer are responsible for the availability and integrity of the backup service itself. This includes maintaining and managing the underlying infrastructure (such as the backup VM), ensuring accessibility of the backup software, and guaranteeing the perman

Hello,I‘m very frustrated now. Had Community for years in use without any problems. Yesterday I could not open management console and get an error message. I try to reinstall software but get this error. Tried an installation on new W2022 same error. Search google - no success. Tried to solve this problem 8 hour. Now I‘m at the end of my knowlegde.  

Are you planning to build Veeam 13 environment on appliances only? Veeam 13 offers backup environment via appliances. VBR and VEM via VSA appliance and proxy with gateway servers via VIA appliance. Hmm, probably you need to consider windows component in backup environment. Of course if you are planning functionality of backup environment like:FLR for Windows Server Application backup  Guest Interaction Proxy Log Shipping Server Item-level Restore   FLR for Windows ServerIt is needed to define Windows “Mount Server” for repository.   Guest Interaction Proxy 

This article explains how to set up Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager (VBEM) and manage user roles. VBEM provides a centralized web-based management and reporting platform that allows administrators to control multiple Veeam Backup & Replication servers from a single console.This article covers deployment steps, accessing the Enterprise Manager interface, and configuring user accounts with specific roles. The guide also highlights best practices for assigning permissions and securing access, ensuring efficient management of Veeam environments.Since my goal is to create articles detailing every product and feature, today I bring you a walkthrough on how to set up Veeam Enter

Hi all,I am currently encountering an issue when backing up a very large NAS.Each file share is over 100 TB, and there are more than 3 backup jobs. The backup process has been running for 140 hours and is still only around 10-15% complete.We are currently backing up from a Nutanix file share and using the “Backup directly from file share” method in Veeam. I have split the proxy into two. The first proxy uses the VBR server itself, and the second proxy uses a VM from Nutanix.Is there another way to make the file share backup process faster? Or has anyone else experienced something similar? Because at this point, the backup process will not meet the RPO.  

Good afternoon, all!My customer is at the very front edge of a complete virtualization refresh - hardware, software, virtualization platform, the whole picture.We’re currently using Veeam B&R and VeeamONE to support our VMware stack, with an onsite performance layer and a cloud storage tier for long-term archiving.If we moved to Hyper-V or Nutanix, would we be able to retain our VMware-based backups for file and data recovery or would we need to repatriate and convert?Thanks!

[Post updated on January 23rd]As a Solution Engineer, I never demo or validate a solution in production, and I shouldn’t. MS Dev tenants are the standard: isolated, safe, and disposable.On paper, they’re ideal: all M365 services are provisioned, licensed, and ready.In reality, they’re empty shells. Blank mailboxes. Empty SharePoint sites. Silent Teams. No data, no history, no behavior. And without behavior, I can’t properly demonstrate, test, or stress a solution.That’s the real issue: I don’t need just a tenant, I need a living environment. One that reflects real-world structures, volumes, permissions, and inconsistencies. Without that, demos feel artificial, performance tests are misleading, and edge cases only appear in production.I started by building scripts to automate content creation in M365. It worked, up to a point.As soon as I needed randomness in the assets, multiple item types, and all their specific behaviors, the setup bec

This is the second time my Veeam 13 console cannot connect and shows the error below.The first time I faced this issue, I reinstalled VBR and it worked normally. However, now that I am facing it for the second time, I feel there might be a bug in this version.After checking the Veeam services, I found that there are three services that cannot start:Veeam Backup Server RESTful API Service Veeam Explorers Recovery Service Veeam Web ServiceHas anyone else experienced the same issue?
